At the time of Shen, Taoran Garden.

Qin Rubing took a nap after lunch.

After a few days of rest, Juhua had fully recovered. She and Zhuxiang chatted quietly in the yard for a while.

Zhu Xiang said worriedly, "The eldest lady was exhausted a few days ago. She hasn't recovered yet and has been sleeping a lot lately."

Juhua was eager to try, and hurriedly said, "Sister Zhuxiang, I'll go to the kitchen to make some nourishing soup for the young lady."

Juhua used to like making soup for the young lady, and the combination of ingredients was pretty good. The young lady had praised it several times.

Zhuxiang nodded.

Juhua left Taoran Garden happily, thinking about what kind of soup to make.

On the way to the kitchen along the west wall, Juhua suddenly saw a kind of wild grass growing under the wall at some point.

Its branches are cylindrical, the leaves are oval, some are oblong, and the leaves are membranous. They look very beautiful and green, and there are dense flowers on the top.

Why does it look so much like the five-fingered peach she saw in the south when she was a child?

Many people in the south have the habit of making soup with the root of the five-fingered ginseng, and call it "Southern ginseng".

But she was not sure whether the weed in front of her was Prunus armeniaca.

Juhua squatted down, picked some and took them to the kitchen.

As soon as I walked into the kitchen, I met the cook, Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu greeted Juhua warmly.

"Chrysanthemum, what kind of soup do you plan to make for the young lady today? Tell me and I'll help you make it."

Juhua held up a handful of weeds with long roots in her hand and said, "Aunt Liu, what do you think this is?"

Aunt Liu looked at it carefully and said, "This looks like the root of the five-fingered peach. Where did you dig it? This kind usually grows in the south."

"Yes, I also saw it when I was a child in the South."

Juhua was very happy to see that she also knew Aunt Liu.

"I want to make a pig's trotter soup for the young lady. In addition to this, I'll also add some astragalus and white atractylodes."

"Okay, don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Aunt Liu took the five-fingered peach root from Juhua's hand and went to work.

Youshi.

Qin Rubing just woke up.

Zhuxiang didn't call her, so she just kept sleeping.

As soon as I woke up, Zhuxiang served several exquisite dishes.

Qin Rubing really had no appetite, so she took a few bites and put down her chopsticks.

Juhua thought Qin Rubing was feeling weak, so she quickly served her a bowl of soup.

"Miss, I asked the kitchen to make pig's trotter soup, and added astragalus, white atractylodes, and five-fingered licorice root. It is very nourishing. You will feel energetic after drinking it."

Qin Rubing didn't even touch the bowl of soup. She felt bloated now. She still wanted to eat pig's trotters? She felt sick just thinking about it.

"Drink it. You have just recovered from your injury and need nourishment."

"Miss..." Juhua looked at her worriedly.

Qin Rubing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just slept too much and didn't move around, so I'm really not hungry."

Qin Rubing stood up and walked briskly into the yard.

She felt that she had gained weight after not exercising for several days. She had to lose weight.

Juhua drank the bowl of soup that had just been served and it tasted pretty good.

She took the leftover food to the small kitchen in the yard so that the young lady could heat it up and eat it anytime when she was hungry at night.

Then, she and Zhuxiang stood under the peach tree on the west side and watched Qin Rubing walking back and forth between the two peach trees.

After about an incense stick of time, Juhua suddenly felt difficulty breathing and unbearable stomach pain.

She collapsed to the ground in pain.

"Chrysanthemum!" Zhuxiang, who was beside her, hurried to help her. "What's wrong with you?"

"Miss!" Zhuxiang shouted.

Qin Rubing turned around and saw Juhua sitting on the ground with her hands on her stomach.

She hurried over, grabbed Juhua's hand and took her pulse.

At the same time, call out "Xiao Yu" with your mind.

"poisoned."

"Xiao Yu" quickly gave a conclusion.

"What poison?"

"Heartwort."

Ah? Gelsemium elegans is extremely poisonous. It is said that if eaten, the intestines will turn black and stick together, and the person will die from constant abdominal pain.

"An antidote?"

"You can drink goose blood, duck blood, or sheep blood to detoxify."

Qin Rubing hurriedly called Ye Yi, "Hurry up and go to the kitchen to find some goose blood, duck blood, and sheep blood."

"Yes." Ye Yi ran out immediately.

Qin Rubing asked Zhuxiang to help Juhua into the operating room and lie on the bed.

"Zhuxiang, go to the pharmacy and boil a pot of medicine. Add mung beans, honeysuckle and licorice to it."

"Yes."

After Zhuxiang left, Qin Rubing closed the door.

While Juhua wasn't paying attention, she quietly took alkaline water and emetic from the space, and then washed Juhua's stomach.

After Zhuxiang had boiled the medicine, Qin Rubing also completed the gastric lavage.

Ye Yi also came back and brought duck blood.

Zhuxiang helped Juhua up, fed her duck blood, and gave her a large bowl of medicine.

Only then did Juhua come to her senses.

"What the hell is going on? What did you eat just now?"

Qin Rubing stared at Juhua and asked seriously.

Juhua was a little dazed at first, but suddenly, she remembered something and was shocked.

"I just drank the bowl of soup that the young lady didn't drink."

"What? Are you saying the soup is poisonous?"

Zhuxiang also understood and felt a little scared.

Qin Rubing's eyes were slightly cold as she glanced at Zhuxiang.

Zhuxiang understood and immediately went to the small kitchen to bring over the pot of soup and put it on the table.

"Xiaoyu, check if this soup is poisonous?"

Qin Rubing turned his back to Zhuxiang and quietly called out "Xiao Yu" for investigation.

"There's gutta-percha in the soup."

Someone poisoned?

Qin Rubing turned around and said word by word: "There is heartbreak grass in the soup."

Juhua's tears suddenly flowed out, "Miss..."

Qin Rubing walked over and held Juhua's hand, "I trust you."

Zhuxiang glanced at Juhua. Although she was very angry, she also believed that it was not Juhua who did it.

Qin Rubing glanced sharply at the pot of soup on the table, patted Juhua's hand gently, and said calmly: "Juhua, tell me the origin of this pot of soup."

Juhua nodded, took a deep breath, and began to tell the story carefully, fearing that she would miss any important details.

"What? You dare to give the young lady the weeds you picked on the roadside?"

Zhuxiang widened her eyes and said angrily.

"I, I wasn't sure at first, but Aunt Liu from the kitchen said with certainty that it was the root of the five-fingered ginseng." said Juhua.

“These two kinds of weeds do look a bit similar.”

There doesn't seem to be any problem with Juhua and Aunt Liu at the moment.

“Go look where the weeds grow.”

Qin Rubing took Zhuxiang and Yeyi out of the yard and came to the west wall, where they saw a few weeds growing beside the wall.

She soon discovered that the soil around the weeds seemed a little unusual, and seemed to be significantly different from the soil in other surrounding areas.

She squatted down and looked closely. The unique layer of soil had a unique color and texture.

“It’s new soil!”

Qin Rubing asked Ye Yi and Zhu Xiang to look carefully, "Someone dug up the soil here first, and then planted this weed."

Zhuxiang understood immediately, "The people who planted it knew it was Gelsemium elegans."

Qin Rubing narrowed her eyes and said, "It must be someone from the mansion."
